You've read the story, now peruse Reverend Ray Cannata’s restaurant list. His mission to eat in every New Orleans restaurant is almost complete. By October 21 he’ll have dined in 729 separate establishments. Cannata has certain criteria: he confined
his challenge to Orleans
parish, excluded national chains and most bars. Read all about it "Minister close to finishing his quest to eat in every N.O. restaurant" here.

MATTHEW HINTON / THE TIMES-PICAYUNERay Cannata is a Presbyterian minister who has dedicated himself to eating in every New Orleans restaurant including Cafe Nero in the Marigny in New Orleans seen here.
Writer: []

Has Cannata missed any New Orleans restaurants?

One reader has written in to say that she once attempted to eat in every New Orleans restaurant in the Zagat guide book. Do you have a restaurant challenge?
